Alright

It's an alright program, for train lay out buffs. But if you want the real deal, like slowing down the flying scotsman before entering a station, real physics, and real routes. Then I suggest you go with MSTS, and ignore this simple program. There are hundreds of sites to download hundreds of new engines and routes, they only downside is that you have to create a consist for each new engine and car, but they have helpful tutorials to help you out, so I give this, 2 stars. Because of the simple control...

bye bye railroad tycoon !

so i used to think railroad tycoon 2 was like the best game ever. so much fun, so easy.. but i was absolutly blown away by trainz. this game is awsome. it puts railroad tycoon and ms train sim to shame. the only complaint i have is that the game has a very steep learning curve. especially in surveyer mode. but once you get the hang of it, its really really easy to play and design your own worlds....

Easy to have a model train layout and trains.

The Trainz program is the easiest way to enjoy model railroading I can think of. The operation is realistic, the program is very flexible and can be adapted to your needs easily. You can add on to existing layouts, create your own layout, create locomotives and rolling stock, and generally have a nice model railroad without all the usual problems of wiring, scenery, and so on that is attendant with constructing a layout. The whole model train system is contained within your pc - and best of all...

Trainz is awesome

Trainz is what I wanted Microsoft Train Simulator to be.It is a simulation of a train set that you build and taylor in any way you choose.It allows you to design your layout and then ride it!The program allows you to choose what engine you want, the complement of cars you pull and design the environment that you operate within.The most fun for me is the surveyor module of the game.It allows you to raise mountains, cut gorges, fill indentations you create with water and place a wide variety of structures...
